Psychic terrain is basically Game Freak's way of saying "Fuck you" to Talonflame.

Jesus, Game Freak. If you were going to make all these 'mons with all these abilities to stop Talonflame, why the fuck did you make gale wings?

It's called balancing, and it's not just talonflame; what about sucker punch, and prankster users? Priority in general has seriously gotten out of hand over the years; I'm glad gamefreak is nerfing it like this.

Glad this gen got its share of feminine-looking pokemon.
Do you think Tapu Lele could be a new Gardevoir?

There's also a missing piece of info That's only on the Japense site:

In truth, it's said that the war ended because the warriors, empowered by the scales, fought until every one of them was dead.

I feel like I should add this with a little footnote.

There is a legend which says that long ago Tapu Lele once brought an end to war between the islands of Alola by scattering its scales and soothing the tired warriors.

>大昔、島同士の争いを、カプ・テテフが鱗粉を振りまき、疲れを癒すことで和解させたとの伝承が残っている。その真相は、鱗粉の力で争っていた者たちが、みな息絶えてしまったためともいわれている。

Yep, thats the one. Should we add it to the description?

No this mon looks like it's gonna be support focus; gardevoir is primarily a sweeper.

There will never be a "new Gardevoir". I might be biased on this, but fact is the only Pokémon that matches up to Gardevoir in terms of sex appeal (according to the amount of porn) is Lucario. And that's the flip side, with most images being of a male. Gardevoir will not be replaced as the Poképorn Queen.

Nah, this gen's "Gardevoirs" are Tsareena and whatever Salandit's evolution ends up being named.

Salandit isn't inherently feminine, though.

Have you seen that leaked evo? Wide hips, bedroom eyes, purple and hot pink underbelly...

There's a theory going around that it's actually a female only evolution, considering Salandit's description specified that the females had all-encompassing pheromones. Thing is, there was no male form, so either that's wrong or we have a Vespiqueen thing going on here.

Bullet punch scizor will definitely be hurting if this thing makes it up that high. Give it 1 fire type coverage move and decent special attack and speed stats and I'd say it is a general "fuck you" in the general direction of every priority user with the typing they gave it.
